by the way i still like my followers. i'm just "dopamine fasting"

dopamine fasting is when you force yourself to be productive by cutting out meaningless entertainment that is keeping you distracted

the distraction of things like Social Media doesn't stop when you sign off. they rebalance your neurotransmitters ( Dopamine ) to the point where other things ( like being productive ) become too boring to bother with.

within 2 days of quitting social media my sleep improved 10 times. i was having incoherent nightmares every night while using social media - those stopped on a dime when i quit. i now get fully rested every time i go to sleep.

the other thing that happened is within a week my sex drive went through the roof. like a fitness model is showing me around a new gym and she's talking to me about the amenities and i'm talking to her about raping children. i'm not joking. then she asks if i want to join and i point blank tell her i need to get the fuck out of here before i lose my mind and just leave.

i saw two gyms in this state - told the first girl i'm never coming back because there are too many children in the gym and i'm not ready to go to prison ( it was YMCA ), and told the second girl ( in LA Fitness ) that she had crazy eyes, then bounced. she admitted she was a former Marine i don't know why she would even dispute that she had crazy eyes. would a sane girl join the Marines ? she was beautiful but acted like a man ... until i told her she had crazy eyes that is, then she blushed and giggled like a girl. but i legit had to bounce or i would have raped her.

i am masturbating nonstop now. up to 5 times a day. sometimes twice in a row without even a 5 minute break. i may have to actually abort this dopamine fasting experiment. it did make me 10 times more productive but it also made me 10 times more horny. it might not be worth it in the end. even with nonstop masturbation the sex drive is still 5 times what it was before quitting social media when i could barely motivate myself to masturbate once a day because i was too busy shitposting.

you have no idea how potent a drug shitposting is until you quit cold turkey and face withdrawals.

oddly i don't actually miss social media itself. i miss the narcotic trance it induced. in retrospect i was in a perpetual state of orgasm from just dunking on 100s of people online every day. this is why sex drive was suppressed. i thought i was just getting old but as soon as i quit social media it's like back to being 25 when all you can think of is sex.

so the "dopamine fasting" experiment is both a success and a failure.

if you spend 10 hours a day on social media and / or gaming you should try quitting completely for a month to see how it will affect you. you may be surprised.
